Zadie Smith citáty a výroky

„(…) hrůza se ze všech emocí, co jich na světě je, nejvíc vzpírá tomu, aby si ji člověk dokázal udržet déle než okamžik.“

Zadie Smith kniha NW

„Čím déle zůstávala o samotě, tím neurčitější a méně ohraničená si připadala. Jako tekutina vylitá z nádoby. Viděla sama sebe, jak klouže z lavičky na zem a nabvá podobu zvířete. Po čtyřech doběhla na hranici mokrého asfaltu a přehoupla se do trávy a mokré hlíny. Hnala se dál, nyní ještě rychleji, protože už zjistila, jak ovládat dva páry nohou naráz, hbitě uháněla přes trávník a umělá návršíčka, přes Zahradní zátiší a květinové záhonky do křoví, přes ulici a na železniční vlečku, a doprovázela to vytím.“
